Patriot Pyro SE 120GB & 240GB Review

Testing:

Crystal Disk Mark 3.0: Crystal Disk Mark is a hard drive benchmark designed to measure the read and write speeds of drives by using 4k blocks, 512k blocks, and sequential data. For the test, we chose the 1000MB option.

In the Read testing the 240GB Pyro SE delivers solid performance until the Que depth is increased in the last read test where it drops off by comparison to the Vertex 3. In the write testing the Pyro SE 240GB drive delivers top line performance in all of the tests. The 120GB version of the Pyro SE falls short of the performance of the Wildfire in the write testing and is still ahead of the Force GT and the original Pyro.
